The Japanese trailer for Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter has been released and can be seen below. The domestic trailer will be released later today and presumably will be longer than 50 seconds.
The trailer mixes new footage with scenes from the five previous films, weaving and cementing the point that this truly is the last entry in the franchise that began in 2002. It shows Alice (Milla Jovovich) riding a motorcycle towards Raccoon City, the origin of the T-virus infection and where the first two films took place. It also brings back Wesker and Dr. Isaacs, who appeared in Apocalypse and Extinction. In the latter, Dr. Isaacs met his end…or so we thought.
Ali Larter returns as Claire Redfield, Iain Glen will return as Dr. Isaacs, with Shawn Roberts playing Albert Wesker once again. New additions also include Ruby Rose as Abigail, Eoin Macken (The Night Shift) as Doc, Cuban American actor William Levy as Christian, Fraser James (“Law & Order: UK”) as Michael, and Japanese model and TV personality, Rola, as Cobalt.
Picking up immediately after the events in Resident Evil: Retribution, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is the only survivor of what was meant to be humanity’s final stand against the undead. Now, she must return to where the nightmare began – The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
Sony Screen Gems has Resident Evil: The Final Chapter slated for release on January 27th, 2017.
